whether il would be practicable TO uom-

be considered We canuo. win without
fair elections, aud to get fair elections
under the present corrupt political man
agemcnt now dominating the State Is an
impoSsbiity, SO that in our Judgment
looking solely to the ultimate success Of
the party an effort sho aid first be made
10 secure fair elections, and then we will
have no scarcity Of good timber out of
which to make nominations, and a fair
chance Of clccting the ticket upon the
~sres dividing the two parties. So
disgusting have become the practices
"f the wicked element Of the Democratic
party controlling tho State that many
prominent men have strayel from the
fold; who propose t. be bound no longer
ny the party lash, but are at work at the
ruot Of the evil and arc struggling to Sc
cure the nomination of some man for
governor of unexccptional record firm
ness and strength Of character who will
respect the peoples wishe, aud aid them
in securing fair elections If they sue
coed would it not be policy for the r.
pmblicans to endorse their nominee? We
think so. but Of course do not set up our
opinion against the experienced party
managers We throw out these sugges-
tons merely that they may be considered
The time is growing short and it is well
to think considerably before any action
is taken toward making nominations. -
There arc class of men in the party
who are nxious for stralghtout nomina-
tons, thinking it will give them more
strength with the next administration
should 1t be Republican. ThiS is all
folly and sclishness The success Of
the great principles underlying the par
" is the great boon for which we are
fighting, and all personal considerations
should be ignored All honorable
means should be adopted to secure that
end. As success cannot be attained
without fair elections. and as we cannot
have fair elections while the State is IN
der the control Of the present corrupt
clan, it seems to us wise to affiliate with
any organization or party that will guar
aztec the latter to us
